My Favorite British Cream Scones

These are light, tender and so easy. I work with a bunch of U.K people and one of them was kind enough to share this recipe with me because I kept on complaining how difficult it is to make good scones. You can add currants, other dried fruit, citrus zest, nuts, etc. – just stir it into the flour mixture before you add the cream. I personally love them with dried cranberries and orange zest.

Truly British Brandy Butter: for Festive Figgy and Plum Pudding!

Make your own brandy butter to smother over delicious, homemade Christmas Figgy or Plum pudding, and in only 5 minutes with this easy recipe,……….no Christmas table would be without this “naughty but nice” accompaniment! This is also wonderful when served with hot mince pies……prise open the pastry lids and dollop some brandy butter inside, preferably when they are warm, so the brandy butter runs through the pies! This makes a great gift – pack the brand butter into an attractive pot and add serving instructions. .

Proper British Roast Potatoes

A true British classic handed down from generation to generation, the backbone of Sunday Lunch all over the UK. Can be served with traditional roast meat. It is worth experimenting with the shapes of the potato, e.g. balls, squares, even hedgehogs!

Painkiller Mocktail(British Virgin Islands)

It is served in almost every resturant and on every island in the British Virgin Islands. It is now considered the official dirnk of the BVI’s.
